I'm not really sure that this has a place in a poker forum, and if it doesn't, I apologize... But, after being here for however long I've been here, mostly at everyone else's dismay, I feel a need to share... Also, as several know and many must suspect, I don't attain friends easily nor hold onto them indefinitely... So, as a consequence, this forum has given me a chance to obtain and speak to many people, many of whom I consider friends, with the occasional douchebag or jinx thrown in, not to name names...

As always, I seem to be getting more longwinded than I need and/or intend to be... My mother passed away Friday night... She had had ovarian cancer for approx. 4 1/2 years, which is exceptionally long time, and remained relatively well for most of the time... Although she did undergo chemo and a few surgeries, she stayed upbeat, happy as always, and never burdoned anyone else with her problems more than they needed to be... She pushed my move to Vegas, knowing that's what I really wanted, even though it had the possibility of me moving and being gone while she died (even though I wouldn't have gone in that case, and she prolly knew that deep down inside)...

Anyways, I felt that since I share many of my higher points, drunken escapades, strange sexual situations, an occasional $2 win at poker... So, I feel compelled to share the so far low point... While I have grown to accept the situation in a relatively short period of time, and have even tried to play a little bit of poker, it is weighing upon me quite heavily, as expected... I will be having two services, one here and one in New York, where most of my family is, and so may not be on BTP as much as I would like... And, while I will attempt as best I can to remain the same degenerate asshole that everyone here has come to expect of me, I cannot make any promises, and can only try my best...

Sorry to burden everyone with my maladies, but I feel as close to BTP as anything else, and wanted to share my burdens as much as I do my successes...

Condolences.

And yes, of course it belongs here. Thanks for sharing.

I'm sure someone around here will find it in his heart to take over your role as the forum ... whatever it is you normally are ... for a while.
